Clinically, the most commonly used is axillary temperature measurement, afternoon temperature 37.1 is generally normal, as described below.
The average normal body temperature of the human body between 36 to 37 ℃ (armpit), beyond 37.3 ℃ is fever, 37.3-38 ℃ is a low fever, 38.1-39 ℃ is a moderate fever; 39 ℃-41 ℃ above belongs to high fever, 41 ℃ belongs to ultra-high fever. A temperature of 37.1 in the afternoon is generally normal.
Body temperature measurement is generally based on oral, rectal and axillary temperature, of which rectal temperature is the closest to the deep body temperature. However, rectal temperature measurement is inconvenient and may lead to cross-infection due to sharing of thermometers, so it is less commonly used. The most commonly used is axillary temperature measurement.
When the body temperature exceeds the normal range, the cause of the disease should be found and treated promptly to avoid delay.
